Generational Curses Lyrics

FaceTime rings

Gasp

You see what I'm doin?

Yes!

I got a question

Do you know what generational curses are

No, I don't know what that is

I really think you should move out of the hood

He said I don't think I could cause I never had the option to

I really think you should move out of the hood

He said I don't think I could cause I never had the option to

Opportunities do not just come to my door knocking

I know to some of you this might just seem a little shocking

Leavings on my conscious, everything around me is toxic

Trynna leave the trap but it's seems we got no options

How can I just leave from where I live

When I'm the one that pay the bills and put food in the fridge

Pops doin a bid, so I take care of his kids

In the streets young, had to get it how I live

And my momma told me

Always keep a eye out for ya sister

Her heart is always broken and her tears flow like a river

I know you are a sinner, but to me you are a winner

And if you make it, promise me you take her with ya

So I be her protection

For my families sake, I keep that weapon

It's not about attention and it's not about aggression

I took responsibilities without making objections

And I ain't ever sign for this, I was just elected

Lil bro don't be a fool, please just stay in school

Just do what I say, please do not do what I do

And I can never leave because I wouldn't be at peace

And I know with out my presence he'll be dead out in these streets

I really think you should move out of the hood

She said I don't think I could cause I never had the option to

I really think you should move out of the hood

She said I don't think I could cause I never had the option to

Opportunities do not just come to my door knocking

I know to some of you this might just seem a little shocking

Leavings on my conscious, everything around me is toxic

Trynna leave the trap but it's seems we got no options

Don't you think I really wanna leave

But who gone cook this food, my little brother gotta eat

They don't care at school, so who gone teach him how to read

I sacrifice myself because need him to succeed

And make it out this trap

Lately I been feeling lost I think I need a map

Don't you ever feel alone because I always got ya back

And always check ya energy because karma is a fact

And if you ever make it out, promise me no looking back

I don't know it all but I can tell you my frustrations

It seems a life is wasted when you live black in this nation

I been praying for a change but I been running out of patience

It's time to break the curses that trap our generation

I'm tired of the cycle that has robbed me from my innocence

I really hope you hear me because no one else is listening
